Sweet Arts Design Review and Giveaway!

If you are wanting to personalize your child's room or your baby's nursery Sweet Arts Design is a place you must check out!

She has some great designs to chose from! I received the 11 x 14 owl modern print for my little one Hannah. I have to say after I opened the envelope it came in I didn't want to open the package. It came wrapped in some very pretty blue tissue paper with a green bow. It was really too pretty to open. So, I didn't open it for a couple days because of it.

I had a hard time choosing what kind of design I wanted as their are so many choices. The great thing is you chose everything which makes the design yours! Sweet Arts Design has other great products like books, clothes, totes, and much more. These would make great gifts for any child or a great baby shower gift!

Reboost with Boost Mobile

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.

With the price of cell phone service going up people are looking for other options. That's why Boost Mobile is a perfect solution. They offer great plans with no contracts! How great is that! I don't know about you but I am sick of contracts!

Another great thing is Boost Mobile offers the Blackberry phone. I love my Blackberry! They also offer the Motorola i1 as well. They have unlimited plans starting at $50 a month and $60 a month if you have a Blackberry.

The great thing is you aren't under a contract. With the unlimited plans you get access to your facebook and twitter accounts! What great way to stay in touch on the run! I love being able to stay in touch whether I am in the car or in the store. I always have access.

Also with the unlimited plans you get talk, text,web, email, 411 and IM. I use my phone alot for texting but I love being able to check my email. Not only that when I don't have access to a computer I can surf the web. Like I said a lot of people have facebook and with Boost Mobile you can stay connected with your facebook account.

With Re-Boost you can make payments online, in person, or on the phone. You can use your debit/credit card to make a payment or sign-up for worry-free automatic payments.

Great Cakes Soap Works Review and Giveaway!

Great Cake Soapworks was created by Amy Warden in 2005 from her passion for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and her passion to make great soap!

She believes that a great cake of soap can cleanse your body, but only a great God can cleanse your soul. The Bible reference “I John 1:9” is printed on all her soap cake labels. It says: “If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

I so agree with her! I got to try 4 of her great soaps! I received the Dead Sea Spa Bar, Oatmeal,Milk, and Honey Goat Milk Soap, Stress Relief Handmade Natural Soap, and the Bye Bye Bugs Handmade Natural Soap.

I wasn't too wild on the smell of the Dead Sea Spa Bar but it sure does do a great job. I used it on my whole body a couple times because I was breaking out and it cleared me up. Now I just use it on my face. My husband says it smells like kelp. But I made him use it as well. He's a mechanic so he always greasy and we tried something similar to this before and it helped get the grease off him better than regular soap. I have to say sure enough he was clean. With regular soap he can't always get all the grease stains off his body but with this soap gone!

Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey Goat Milk Soap smells great. I love the way my skin felt so soft and smooth. I even used this one on my little ones and it works great. My 2 1/2 year old has eczema flares at times so this really helped with that. She also has other goat milk soaps besides this one as well.

 

Stress Relief Handmade Natural Soap is her number 1 seller. I can see why! I love this soap. I can't say it's my favorite as I haven't tried all her soaps but it is a great soap! My husband says it smells like spearmint gum. I have to agree with him. It is a very relaxing soap. I personally can feel my stress just wash away. This is a great soap for anyone! I don't know many people that are not stressed.

Bye Bye Bugs Handmade Natural Soap is a great soap for those that work outside or do any leisure activities outside for that matter. I am always getting eat up by mosquitoes when I walk out the door. I don't know why they love me so much but they do. I always forget to put bug spray on. So, this is a great soap that works! Just make sure you don't  put on scented soap after you wash with this soap as you will be defeating the purpose.

She has a great selection of soaps besides the ones I got to try. That I promise that you will have a hard time choosing. She also sells lots of other stuff as well.

Great Cake Soap Works is giving one of my lucky readers 4 bars of soap of their choice! Open to US and Canada only!

Mandatory Entry: Go to Great Cakes Soap Works and tell me what your favorite soap is! This must be done first for any extra entries to count.

Cafepress Review and Giveaway!

CafePress offers the best selection of personalized gifts and unique gifts such as t-shirts, clothing, mugs, art & posters. They make it really hard to chose what you want. I can honestly spend hours just browsing their site!

Since I love to bake and really only have one apron which just so happens to be a christmas one decided to get this cute apron.

It says "And on the 8th day God created..... chocolate!" I love chocolate and I love baking deserts. So, this was a perfect choice from me! It is made of a heavy duty fabric that will last. Of course it will help keep me from getting flour all over my clothes or anything else for that matter. I also love the fact that the strap is adjustable. I usually have to tie a knot in the back so it will be high enough to cover the areas I want covered as I am short. I wish more aprons where designed like that.

Cafepress is offering one lucky reader a tote bag of their choosing!

Mandatory Entry: Go to Cafepress and tell me what tote bag you would chose if you won.This must be done first for any extra entries to count.

Water Bouncers by Maui Toys Review!

Maui Toys has come out with this great new Water Bouncer! It's like a snow globe that bounces. You can bounce it, roll it, or just leave it sitting. Maui Water Bouncers contain colorful glitter that dazzle under light or with any movement. A quick flick of the wrist while holding the ball creates a cloud of floating sparkles that will mesmerize for hours. They are available in tinted pink, tinted blue, tinted purple, tinted green, clear skin with purple glitter (3" & 4" only), clear skin with blue glitter (3" & 4" only).

I recieved the tinted pink, tinted blue, tinted purple, and tinted green to review. My kids loved them! My little ones where mesmerized by the floating sparkles while my older kids loved the fact at how high they could bounce. These are great entertainment for my kids and really helped getting them outdoors to play.

You can find these at Walmart, Target, Kmart, Toys R Us, Dick's Sporting Goods, and U.S. Toys.

Joys of Motherhood!

*Warning this may gross you out!*

The other day my little ones decide to sleep later than normal. No biggie as I homeschool it was a nice break from having to entertain them while we worked. So, I am busy checking the kids school work and my 2 1/2 yr old, Faith, comes in the school room and says I am hungry. I ask her since she shares a room with my 15 month old, Hannah, if she was awake. She says no. I go and crack the door open barely and check and sure enough she is still asleep. I go on to make Faith some breakfast. I go back to the school room and finish checking some work. Then I look at the clock and realize it's almost 10 am why is she sleeping so long. I quietly go in the little ones room and look.

What do I see? You really don't want to know. But this is what I found a naked bottom baby! No big deal right? WRONG! The diaper was just wet and obviously she just pulled it off who knows if she did that in her sleep or not. But then she went to sleep and pooped in her sleep all over the place! Oh my was it not a pretty site. Luckily it only was on half of her bed and didn't get on too much stuff. Who know when she did it as it was dried. So, Faith decides she going to help mommy. I was like ok so I gave her all the clean stuff out of the bed to put somewhere the whole time she is gagging. It took all I could not to laugh the way she was acting. She told Hannah you stink!

Luckily I had some wipes so I used those to get what I could off Hannah before I stuck her in the tub. Then I had to have her sit in the tub for 5 minutes so the rest would come off. Then I had to make fresh water after I cleaned the tub out. Of course I had to scrub her bed and let it air out!

You would think I would know better than to put a baby down in just a shirt! This happened before when Faith was a baby but luckily she didn't poop she just took off a wet diaper and didn't even peepee in the bed. So, never put a baby to bed unless you have something to go over their diaper so they can't take it off. I think from now on I will remember that regardless of how tired I am.

Turkish Towel Company Review!

The Turkish Towel Company products are all made in the legendary towel producing town of Denizli, Turkey, the world’s largest center for woven terry production.

All of The Turkish Towel Company’s products are woven in their modern production facility by Swiss made computer controlled weaving equipment.

Each and every towel we provide is inspected three times to ensure the perfect towel:

1. After weaving

2. After dyeing

3. After stitching

 Particular attention is paid to the stitching and finishing of all products. All their towels are double-stitched along the lengths to avoid fraying and for added stability.

 While a Turkish towel may cost more initially, in the long run it costs a lot less as it will easily outlast towels of inferior quality.

I was sent the 3 piece Zenith Bath Towels in antique rose. I have to say these are some of the softest towels! I love how thick they are compared to a lot of towels I have used. This towels will last that is for sure! They carry alot of different towels as well like oversized bath towels, bath sheets, bath mats, etc.

They also have lexus and organic line of towels too! So their is something for everyone! If you are in the market for some good quality towels then you need to check out the Turkish Towel Company!

Stay tuned as their are more great giveaways coming up! But due to a horrible migrane that I have been suffering since Monday I don't know if I will be able to get them up.

It's the weekend! And upcoming Giveaways!

I am so glad it's the weekend! We have one week of school down! Which is a great relief to me. Praise the Lord for that! Amen Amen. It was a great week with a few little problems that got solved right quick. It seems so far we are going to have a great school year.

I am working with our 2 1/2 year old this year. I know it's early and my goal is to have her reading by the end of the year. We shall see if I succeed if not that is okay too as she is only 2 1/2. She already knows her ABCs and can count to 20. She started all that at 2. So, this week we dealt with just the letter A and that it makes the short a sound. We worked on the number zero and the color red along with the shape circle. She has done extremely well with all that. I am very impressed!

Then I have been working on my 15 month old going to the potty. She has went and pottied everytime I have set her on it. I have yet to get her to poo in the potty but that will come. She sometimes tells me when she has to go by going to the bathroom and pointing to the potty or she goes to the bathroom door and knocks on it. We keep the one closed that is near my school room to keep her out for now. So, we got success their.

I also haven't much chance to get all these great product reviews and giveaways wrote up like I have been wanting to because of starting this school. I am trying to figure out how to juggle everything now. As I don't touch the computer while we are doing school. So, I am trying to get all my reviews and giveaways done in the afternoon but still have time for my family too. So, I kinda slacked on posting as much as I want. I plan on working on that this week even if I write them and schedule post which by the way is a great feature and life saver!

I will give you a sneak peak of some upcoming giveaways.

Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hampton Hotels are some of the best hotels to stay at when you are going on vacation or traveling for business or any other occasion for that matter. All the Hampton Hotels I have stayed at have been immaculate with great accommodations. Hampton Hotels have certainly lived up to their name and that is why I am so excited to be able to enter Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes everyday!

There are daily prizes of a Weekend Stay giveaway for you and three of your friends and a grand prize of a Hotel for a Weekend - 100 rooms to use as you please! There is no purchase necessary, although you can enter automatically when you book a room or you can just click on Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes for a no purchase entry!

What would I do if I won a weekend stay? I think we would go to Atlanta. I have been wanting to take the kids to see the Aquarium which I haven't even been to. Maybe a couple other museums up their too. Or either to Destin to the beach so that my little ones can play in the sand. They where too little to remember the beach last time they went with us. Even better hubby and I just take a getaway by ourselves somewhere. Now that would be really nice and long overdue! With hotels all over the place, more than 1600 in all... the possibilities are almost endless!

If you win.... you definetly would invite me to the party right? So, what are you waiting for?
